Let It Bleed (50th Anniversary Edition) is out now: “Sympathy For The Devil“ by The Rolling Stones Composers: Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Lyrics: Please allow me to introduce myself I’m a man of wealth and taste I’ve been around for a long, long year Stole many a man’s soul and faith I was ’round when Jesus Christ Had his moment of doubt and pain Made damn sure that Pilate Washed his hands and sealed his fate Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name But what’s puzzling you Is the nature of my game I stuck around St. Petersberg When I saw it was a time for a change Killed the Czar and his ministers Anastasia screamed in vain I rode a tank Held a general’s rank When the blitzkrieg raged And the bodies stank Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah What’s puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah I watched with glee as your kings and queens Fought for ten decades For the Gods they made I shouted out “Who killed the Kennedys?“ When after all It was you and me Let me please introduce myself I’m a man of wealth and taste And I lay traps for troubadours Who get killed before they reach Bombay Pleased to meet you Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah But what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah Well, get down, hit it Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, oh yeah But what’s confusin’ you is just the nature of my game Just as every cop is a criminal And all the sinners saints As heads is tails just call me Lucifer ’Cause I’m in need of some restraint So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mmm yeah Pleased to meet you Hope you guess my name, mmm yeah But what’s puzzling you is the nature of my game “Sympathy For The Devil (Official Lyric Video)” Directed by: Lucy Dawkins and Tom Readdy at Yes Please Productions Producers: Julian Klein, Robin Klein (C) 2018 ABKCO Music & Records, Inc. #TheRollingStones #SympathyForTheDevil #BeggarsBanquet Music video by The Rolling Stones performing “Sympathy For The Devil“.
